There’s something incredibly satisfying about listening to a year’s worth of music in one beautifully packaged presentation. Now you can get that from a few different streaming services. Yesterday, Apple Music Replay 2024 was released, and Amazon is also getting in on the game for the first time with Amazon Music Delivered 2024. Meanwhile, Spotify has been doing this for nearly a decade, and today we got this year’s edition of Spotify Wrapped 2024. A similar program started in 2015 under the name “Year in Music,” but was renamed Wrapped in 2016 and has been successful and growing ever since. For 2024, Spotify is adding a new way to deliver all of its streaming information: AI podcasts.
As before, you get streaming information via Instagram-style story cards that scroll through your favourite songs of the year. You can also have this information provided by two AI-generated podcasters. The new feature, “Your Wrapped AI Podcast,” is powered by Google’s NotebookLM.
This isn’t Spotify’s first foray into the world of AI. Last year, they tested a podcast translation feature that cloned podcasters’ voices to provide podcasts in other languages and AI DJs. For those who want to access their annual review on the go, being able to listen to the statistics instead of reading them is an interesting proposition.
In addition to story cards and AI podcasts, this year Spotify is introducing “Your Podcaster Clips.” Podcast fans can see end-of-year messages from Spotify’s top podcasters thanking their listeners. And the 2024 in Podcasts hub contains tons of other stats and summaries about Spotify podcasts.
Creator Wrapped takes your experience beyond the typical Spotify listener. Artists, creators and writers can get their own stories to celebrate their year with Wrapped for Artists, Wrapped for Creators and the all-new Wrapped for Authors. See information on every aspect of your fan engagement. Wrapped for Creators adds eight different personality classifications similar to those seen when Listening Personalities premiered in Spotify Wrapped 2022, and also gives insight into listeners’ preferences, age and what else they’re listening to.
How to find your Spotify Wrapped stats
As you might expect, accessing your Spotify Wrapped stats for 2024 is a pretty straightforward process, as it’s a key Spotify yearly feature. When you open the app on your device, whether Android or Apple, you’ll see the Spotify Wrapped 2024 screen on the home page, which you can click to open your personalized experience. From there, you can view story cards and listen to AI podcasts throughout Spotify’s year.
The Wrapped experience can only be viewed on the mobile app (either iOS or Android).
